Moreover, Musk reportedly owns thousands of acres of land in Central Texas near the Colorado River Corridor.
Also, the headquarters of The Boring Company is just three miles from Austin Executive Airport. The Tesla Giga Factory is 15 miles from the private airport and 5 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
